Zach Adams is one of the best detectives in the country. Nicknamed Cowboy, he’s a soft-spoken homicide detective known for his integrity and courage under fire. He serves on a federal task force that has a single mission: to hunt down Dominic Abend, a European gangster who has taken over the American underworld.

After a brutal murder gives them a lead, Zach and his tough guy NYPD partner Martin Goulart are finally on Abend’s trail. But things get complicated — and very, very weird. Goulart’s on-the-job enemies are accusing him of corruption. And Zach is beginning to suspect that Abend’s evil goes beyond crime—perhaps to the edge of the supernatural. As his investigation continues in Germany, Zach finds himself lured into the impossible. In a centuries-old forest under a full moon, a beast assaults him, cursing him forever. In the aftermath, Zach is transformed into something horrible —something deadly.

Now, the good cop has innocent blood on his hands. He has killed—and will kill again—in the form of a beast who can’t be controlled or stopped. Before he can free himself, he’s going to have to solve the greatest mystery of all: How can you defeat evil when the evil is inside you?

Reviews for Werewolf Cop

Werewolf Cop moves like a freight train-a classic white-knuckled police procedural with the chills of a midnight horror movie, and the best kind of old-fashioned hero at the center. I loved it. -- Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of 'Paranoia' The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich. -- Stephen King Be warned: this book is loaded with provocations. The French have Michel Houellebecq; here in the US of A, we have Andrew Klavan. Werewolf Cop is his best book yet, one that starts with a rush and never lets up, dark and funny, with the bittersweet taste of the knowledge of good and evil. -- Books and Culture Though the title might suggest more lighthearted fare, make no mistake, this is a gritty crime novel at heart. Klavan is a suspense expert, building slowly through the first half of the book and then setting a rapid, tense pace for the second. And for all of that, Klavan also infuses the text with a plentiful wry humor. -- Foreword Reviews Fans of contemporary monster tales will be taken with Klavan's thriller. -- Kirkus Reviews Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Superb suspense by a master storyteller. -- Clive Cussler A modern masterpiece of hardboiled horror, featuring a hero who feels like he stepped out of a Raymond Chandler novel. -- John J. Miller, author of 'The First Assassin' Klavan has a knack for creating relentless, fast-paced narratives, and this thriller-horror hybrid is no exception. -- Booklist Werewolf Cop grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go until the very end. The writing is crisp and descriptive. Straight-arrow Zach Adams has his flaws and moments of doubt. The other characters are also fully-rounded. This good read will send shivers up your spine. -- AuthorLink.com The two Edgars Klavan owns testify to his excellence at thrillers. -- Publishers Weekly
